State District Judge Serves on Jury
A state district judge was selected for a jury in Dallas County. Judge Carlos Cortez was shocked that he was not stricken by one side or the other. But, he says he enjoyed the experience. He declined to serve as jury foreman, because he wanted to watch the process. He eventually became the lone dissent, as the other five members voted to find no liability on the part of the defendant in a car wreck case. See report.
